Failure rates
"No such thing as a bad student - just a bad instructor.." - well mostly this holds true. Thats what I learnt in the RAAF as a QFI and we still failed around 50% of the guys...not exactly sure that was a good thing - just worked out that way...and probably reflects on my training ability!!
"those that can - do.. ...those that can't- teach..." or do upgrade interviews...! lol
If one assumes the recruitment process collects the right guys, and the training department trains effectively, then the pass rate should be higher no doubt... of course I would be hard pressed to pass a command upgrade interview now as I no longer know where anything is or what todays current SOP happens to be ...too hard to keep up with the various ignominious changes, to give the illusion of progress!
Just dont embarrass the company, hurt the pax or break the jet... pretty simple really.... sorry that is a trite response but happy to accept the hits if anyone can be bothered...
